Two Thoughts on Unemployment

First, I want to mention how much I hate answering the question "So are you taking classes spring?" which is immediately followed by "Oh so are you working?" after which I am forced to make an embarrassed look and a self deprecating joke about how I'm a unemployed bum and don't know what to do with myself, and then if I want to gain some self respect I mention how I might be moving to Maryland to work, which isn't completely honest since I don't have anything for certain yet, after which the girl will in some cases continue the conversation for longer than 2 minutes if she's nice or in other cases 1) cut short the conversation because there's a cute guy across the room who probably is not such a bum or 2) cut short the conversation because there's a cute guy across the room who will probably be here for the duration of summer, at which point I will likely try to talk to someone new who will invariably ask those same two questions, a situation which I only share with you, dearest reader, to illustrate how much I want to have a job.

Second... its simultaneously relaxing and maddening to have so much free time every day.
